CE for Pharmacists: The Joint Commission's Requirements for Antimicrobial Stewardship in the Ambulatory Practice Setting: An Opportunity to Optimize Patient Care 

by Sara Revolinski, PharmD, BCPS, Maxx Enzmann, PharmD, BCPS, John Tierney, 2021 PharmD Candidate 

"Up to 56% of outpatient antibiotics in the United States are inappropriately prescribed, with 30% of antibiotic prescriptions deemed unnecessary.1,2 The over-prescribing of antibiotics can be harmful to patients, because these medications have the potential to cause adverse effects and toxicities. These range from common adverse effects, such as rash and diarrhea, to less common adverse events, such as severe allergic reactions.3 Furthermore, antibiotic use has been identified as the most important risk factor for Clostridioides difficile infection."
